The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

This year, the crown prince Chu Ying passed away, and His Majesty never mentioned going to the palace to escape the summer heat. In the sweltering Yingdu city, people are too lazy to go out.

The same is true in the palace, the little emperor's grandson, Fang Manyue, was held in the arms of the wet nurse. After the concubine Xian glanced at it from a distance, the wet nurse carried the child back to the bedroom. Cleared."

Hengwang's errands were messed up and he fell out of favor, not to mention the two little princes below. The concubine Xian has been in the palace for a long time, and she no longer worries about gains and losses, just hold on to the power of the palace tightly.

After delivering the soup to His Majesty, she saw the prime minister walking in a hurry. She remembered what happened the night before, and wanted to avoid it with a little embarrassment. When she turned around, she heard the prime minister's voice: "May I take a step to speak, Mrs. Xianfei."

Concubine Xian had no choice but to turn around and go to a remote place with the prime minister, Fang Ping retreated from the palace and heard the prime minister saying: "Madam, what can you find out?"

"The person is locked in the palace, and the actual evidence has not yet been asked. Lu Xiang will wait for a few more days, and he is not in a hurry at this moment." Xianfei said, always feeling a little coercion when facing the prime minister, who is also a woman , she couldn't be as resourceful as the prime minister.

As a woman in the harem, she knew the situation at hand. After King Heng was deprived of the right to govern, the other two princes had no achievements, and only Princess Xinping, who was married to the prime minister, remained.

There used to be a female emperor in the previous dynasty, so Bao Xinping didn't have this heart.

Lu Shi said: "Your Majesty may hand over that palace servant to the minister?"

"Prime Minister shouldn't get involved in these trivial matters. It's better to let the princess enter the palace if you take over. It's justified for her to check her name, and the princess is used to knowing the dirty methods in the palace, so she can check it faster than you, a foreign minister." Concubine Xian politely refused. Well, the prime minister is very capable, and she can't be on guard against what she can do in the palace by taking the opportunity.

It is difficult for outsiders to know about the affairs of the mansion. Lu Shi does not want Chu Ran to be contaminated, but the word "waichen" in the mouth of the concubine Xian is the most direct rejection.

She couldn't force it anymore, so she had to salute and leave.

Without the most authentic evidence, it is impossible to settle accounts with King Heng. The prime minister has his own sense of propriety and will not act recklessly.

But Chu Ran, who had just bullied her, would not wait so patiently for Concubine Xian to find evidence. She found King Ning, asked for more than a hundred beautiful actors, and sent them to King Heng's mansion.

Ten people are sent every day, and the names are different every day. Sometimes the Tao is to pinch the princess's feet, sometimes the Tao is to serve His Royal Highness to make the bed, and the Tao is to relieve the boredom of the Heng Wang Palace.

After seven or eight days in a row, before noon every day, people could be seen standing outside the main gate of Hengwang Mansion.

Those who handle affairs are not afraid that Hengwang will not accept them. If they stand in a stalemate outside, they will only be seen as a joke, and Hengwang can't afford to lose face.

After making jokes for many days, Concubine Heng finally couldn't bear to go to the door of the prime minister's mansion. The prime minister was not there, and Chu Ran received her with a smile.

Concubine Heng Wang is spoiled, but she is very obedient in front of Heng Wang. This time, she was probably forced by Heng Wang. Chu Ran pretended not to know, and deliberately mentioned those beauties: "Is sister-in-law here to thank Xinping? You don't have to do it yourself Come here in person, I don't know how Brother Heng's condition is, but it has improved. I happen to have some female doctors here, and I will send them to the sister-in-law's house another day."

Hearing that she was about to give it away, Concubine Heng almost spit out a sip of tea in her mouth, tried her best to maintain her demeanor, then swallowed her anger and said: "I don't know what provoked Xinping in Hengwang's mansion, and made you embarrass the mansion by mobilizing so many teachers. "

"Sister-in-law was joking, there is no one in the house to order, just send some maidservants, why not talk about embarrassment." Chu Ran's smile did not change.

"Ming people don't speak dark words, so what's the reason for your Highness to serve as a concubine in your elder brother's house as a younger sister?" Princess Heng put down the tea cup, her brows and eyes were full of anger.

Chu Ran said: "Brother Hengwang gave Lu Xiang an unknown palace man. I just retaliated with a tooth for a tooth. I followed his method. I haven't let people come to the door with a reminder. I have already given it to you." Save face."

"Is there a misunderstanding, Your Highness?" Concubine Heng's pretty face turned pale. She was originally the one who asked the teacher to inquire about the crime, but after hearing this, she became at a loss.

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, sister-in-law will know as soon as she goes back. It's better to bring some medical girls back to the mansion, which will definitely be good for Brother Heng Wang's condition." Chu Ran couldn't hide his smile. results.

The incident was too sudden, Princess Heng didn't know what King Heng had done, let alone be able to refute it, so she could only clarify the matter first: "Do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence, and the confession is in the hands of the prime minister. The princess should go back and ask Heng Wang first, so as not to be ashamed by talking big."

After listening to her voice, Concubine Heng knew that this matter could not be resolved today, she immediately stood up and said harshly: "If this matter has nothing to do with Prince Heng's mansion, I will definitely report to your Majesty, and you will be the one who will be ashamed at that time."

"Sister-in-law can go and file a complaint. It just so happens that Dad doesn't know about it. To be specific, Dad hasn't seen Brother Heng Wang for a long time." Chu Ran didn't care about Heng Wang's face, and put the last layer of paper as thin as a cicada's wing It was punctured.

King Heng has lost power, and it is not yet known whether he will be able to see His Majesty.

Concubine Heng has never been ashamed like this before. She suppressed her breath in her heart and left in anger, even ignoring the last courtesy.

Chu Ran chased after her for a few steps, and shouted at her back: "Sister-in-law, walk slowly, the threshold of Xiangfu is a bit high, don't fall down."

It's okay if you don't say anything, just as soon as you finished speaking, you saw Concubine Heng fell and was helped up by the maid, and trotted away in three steps.

Heng Wang can't stand up, how can he be respected by others as the person next to him, no one has exposed this point now, after being pointed out by Chu Ran today, Princess Heng has no confidence to fight and make trouble.

In the evening, Lu Xiang returned home.

In the past few days, she returned home very early, Chu Ran pretended not to know, and seldom paid attention to her, but Axiu told Lu Shi what happened during the day in detail, and listened to Lu Shi every word.

Lu Shi was not surprised by Chu Ran's strength. After all, Princess Xinping in the previous life was not a low-key person.

He waved his hands to signal for Axiu to step back, and put a fruit plate on the desk, with some slices of ice melon, about half eaten.After a long time, there is only a little coolness left.

Chu Ran was leaning on the small couch. It had been less than half a year since the last time she sent money to Northwest, and it was time to send it again. She looked at the account books of the hot spring hall a few days ago and asked for some money back, or Licensing to fill the vacancy.

All she could think about was money, and Lu Shi didn't notice it when she came. She just habitually moved to one side when people approached, and then continued to flip through the account books.

Lu Shi frowned, took a look at the amount on the account book, found that it belonged to the hot spring, and suddenly knew what she was thinking: "His Royal Highness wants to use money?"

Chu Ran didn't hide anything, and said: "Well, it's time to send some money to the past, and after the prince goes, the northwest will panic. If you don't send it to comfort them earlier, your majesty is hard to guess, why don't you take a step and see."

Now she is no longer afraid of the Xiongbei Xiongbing, and she is not afraid of His Majesty's suspicion. She is protected by Lu Shi in the capital city of Ying, and nothing will happen to her. She doesn't have to be a humble person anymore.

Lu Shi knew what she meant, and said casually: "There is more silver in the hot spring hall, Your Highness can send it to the northwest, just in the name of Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Also." Chu Ran agreed. She thought of the treasure in the prince's private treasury, and she had doubts in her heart: "Where is the key to the private treasury of the East Palace? Does the princess have it? in the palace."

"The key is here with Your Highness. After the wound medicine sent by the crown prince a few days ago was returned to the East Palace, the crown prince sent it to the office. I only found it when I searched for it later." Lu Shi's eyes were cold, neither happy nor worried, as if in Said an ordinary thing.

As soon as Chu Ran heard it, he knew that the prince's death was planned by himself, and that King Heng was poisoned, so he might avoid it.Especially in the past few years, His Majesty disliked him so much and secretly guessed his relationship with Northwest, how could he simply forgive him.

His heart suddenly became cold, His Majesty did not come to the throne rightly, and he imagined everyone as a rebellious and unscrupulous person who killed the king and seized the throne.

"Lu Xiang already knew the prince's plan?"

"I didn't know about the planning of the East Palace. I only vaguely guessed it after seeing the key to the private treasury. The crown prince is poisoned like you, but the crown prince is not as good as ordinary people. The poison cannot be removed, and he will not survive the age of a weak crown."

Lu Shi's voice was calm and unwavering, as if he was talking about court affairs, Chu Ran was used to it, and he didn't think she was ruthless and cold-blooded, and he was used to her emotions long ago.

If the prince is here, she will definitely scold him severely. Now that she has entered the imperial tomb, she can't do anything. Sighing and sighing will only end up in a dream-like situation, and she will be in trouble. She sighed silently and looked at Lu Yi: " Go to the East Palace some other day to have a look, since he gave me the management of the private treasury, it's for the emperor's grandson, even with his stingy appearance, it may not be for me."

"The prince once said with a smile that His Highness has a prime minister's mansion, which is better than the East Palace." Lu Shi was worried that she was in a bad mood, and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't want her to figure it out, so he joked casually.

Chu Ran thinks about it too. The money Lu Xiang has obtained over the years is not inferior to that of the East Palace. He has a good way of making money, but he is a bit stingy. She said: "Is it true that rich people are stingy?"

Lu Shi frowned slightly: "Why did you say that?"

"Is Lu Xiang not stingy?" Chu Ran asked back.

"How can I be stingy? The money used by His Highness is all from the Prime Minister's House. He promised that the hot springs would pay off the debt to the minister. Now he wants to transfer the money. Will the stingy person agree?" Lu Shi was slightly annoyed. I didn't want to get the word stingy.

"Lu Xiang has such a big face, he deceived the hot springs by force, and now he says he is generous. How is this different from a thief calling for a thief?" Chu Ran curled her lips. He would be more honest when he was pressed on the couch that day.

It's a pity that the chain was taken away, otherwise I really wanted to lock her up every day.After thinking about it, she leaned on the man and gently rubbed her ears: "Where did you hide my chain, if you don't give it to me, do it again."

Lu Shi was so suppressed by her that he patted her on the shoulder: "Your Highness, just do it again."

"Lu Xiang is really generous. Since you want to hide it, I will make a few more. It is enough to use it once anyway. What do you think of Lu Xiang? This strategy is accurate?" Chu Ran tugged hard, remembering that the palace man almost He insulted her, and he felt angry in his heart, wishing to hide this person in the cabinet so that no one else could see him.

"Don't make trouble." Lu Shi felt the pain, held her hand and kissed her, "You should calm down, Hengwang's mansion has become a laughing stock, His Majesty will punish you again."

Chu Ran didn't care at all, and a smile poured into his eyes: "What are you afraid of, just ignore what your majesty says, I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the northwest now, and I am very confident."

She had returned to her old heroic look, and Lu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or wake her up, so he hugged her shoulders and reminded: "It's okay, Your Highness is full of confidence and is not afraid of anything. Don't drag me to rescue you when you are punished to kneel."

"Lu Xiangruo speaks well, and I will forgive you. If you want to mock me again, you will continue to sleep on the floor tonight." Chu Ran ground her teeth and bit her jaw.
